Re: gEDA-user: question about pcb libraries lesstif HID

[John Griessen <john_g@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi y'all,

I have not gotten pcb lesstif to use my local library dirs yet.

I'm working around it, but would like this configuration to work so updating pcb
and perhaps moving my /opt/pcb install dir to a backup will have no effect on my 
project libraries.  Also  I'm goign to start using SVN to track my libraries, 
and don't want to track pcb code that way.

I tried creating  ~/.Xdefaults with a line

Pcb.lib-newlib: /home/john/EEProjects/circuitboards/footprints_pcb

The footprints_pcb dir has dirs with elements in them named such as surf, thru, 
etc...

I also have these lines in my /opt/pcb/share/pcb/Pcb

resources file:

Pcb.libraryPath: 
.:/opt/pcb/share/pcb:/home/john/EEProjects/circuitboards/footprints_pcb
Pcb.libraryTree:            /opt/pcb/share/pcb/newlib
Pcb.lineThickness:          1000
Pcb.media:                  letter
Pcb.menuFile:		    /opt/pcb/share/pcb/pcb-menu.res
Pcb.offLimitColor:          gray80

Ideas?

thanks,

John G
